Aim

To implement a process throughout 2025 that fosters clarity of intentions and a unified purpose to refresh the unique dynamics of people and place in Dublin's Loughlinstown. This often-overlooked public housing heritage holds significance yet to be told at the local, county, and national levels. This process will produce a clear set of pathways for the period 2026-2029, harnessing cross-departmental energy in partnership with community agency.
